This gorgeous couple is Ashley and Matt! Months ago, we were tagged in Ashley’s facebook post where she had been looking for a wedding photographer. My (Hillary) cousin Megan referred us to them and although there were TONS of other photographers listed, they chose us! We were beyond thrilled, seeing that we were up against other amazing photographers! So first of all, to Ashley and Matt - THANK YOU for choosing us!

Getting to know them has been a thrill. We drove out to Hemet to meet them (that day we also had 3 photoshoots in riverside, so you bet we were exhausted by the end of the night). We think it’s important to meet in person! We talked a little bit about our personal lives, got to meet their little boy, we reviewed our wedding contract, and listened to all of Matt’s jokes. We signed our contract on the spot and started engagement photos a couple weeks later. Throughout all of this we learned that Ashley is the most organized person on the planet! She followed up with every email and phone call, returned every wedding related sheet to us early, and made sure we knew every detail we could possibly need to know for her big day. As Matt said in his wedding vows “She did all of this!!!”.

The wedding was stunning! We felt so welcomed by all of their guests - and lets not forget how welcomed we felt by those fried macaroni and cheese balls (YUM!).

Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Francis, for allowing us to be a part of your beautiful day! Hopefully we have another reason to photograph you in the future!
